We shot ourselves in the foot with some opportunities more or less the whole game.

We couldn't hit that little 7- or 8-foot shot for anything. We've played down here twice and have had probably our two worst shooting percentages here at the Colonial Center.

We shot ourselves in the foot. And we're not converting (third downs).

It doesn?t get any easier all year in the return game. Once they see that early in the year, they?re going to attack the same things you?ve had problems with, so we?re definitely going to have to get it fixed pretty soon.

Our defense really came together in that KW game. On both sides of the ball, our line has gotten so much better. We're finally able to have the depth to have competition in those areas. And you've got to have that to succeed.

It took us four to five years to build a championship (at Southwestern). I think we've been making some strides in the third year. But it still remains to be seen if we're going to be mentally tough enough.
